The hospital, operated by the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, is some 25 km. from the center of Nairobi. A Kenyan doctor provides full-time ophthalmological care at Kikuyu not only for the immediate community surrounding the hospital but throughout Kenya. His is the largest service in the hospital.

Rehabilitation Center of Kikuyu Hospital

The goal of the rehabilitation center at Kikuyu Hospital is to assist the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) to provide an opportunity for physically disabled persons to move from dependency toward independence through programs of surgical, physical, social, spiritual and vocational rehabilitation. The Kikuyu Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center is a pioneer project that ministers to tens of thousands of children and adults from across Kenya and parts of Tanzania. It also serves refugees coming from Somalia and Sudan.
